HE calls her his “super bad iconic muse”, but is Kanye West going too far in his risqué outfit choices for wife Bianca Censori?
The controversial 47-year-old rapper has faced a backlash online for posting pictures of Australian architect Bianca, 29, in clothes that would not appear out of place in an S&M dungeon.
On Monday, his wife of two years left nothing to the imagination in her most revealing look yet — which is saying something.
Stepping out of a tanning salon in LA, braless Bianca wore only a long-sleeved, see-through top that appeared to the naked eye as though she was, well, naked.
The X-rated top was accompanied by some skin-coloured pants and a cap placed low over her eyes.
Curiously, it was as though she didn’t want to be recognised.
It was a risky outfit in the state of California, where the penal code criminalises indecent exposure when it has the intent of sexual gratification or to offend a person.
The maximum penalty is six months in county jail, a fine of $1,000 (£770) and at least ten years on the sex offenders’ list.
This does not seem to be something that bothers Bianca — or Kanye, if, as many believe, he is the one pulling the fashion strings.
In a now-deleted post on Bianca’s birthday in January, the Gold Digger performer posted pictures of her in a bodysuit and gimp mask, in a kitchen, with the caption “Cream of wheat”.
The photo racked up 1.5million likes but many were also distressed at the image, finding it overly sexual — and even controlling.
One fan commented: “Uh. Dude. Get help. What is this? You have daughters. You teaching them to be submissive sex pets?”
Another said: “One day your daughter will think it’s OK to be treated like this.
One even accused West of treating his wife “like a marketable piece of meat”.
And things have got more troubling, with sources close to Bianca claiming last year that Kanye instructed her to “never speak” and that he has issued her a set of rules to live by, including what she can and cannot eat and that he chooses her outfits.
Her former friends spoke out anonymously in October 2023, saying Bianca has “no mind of her own any more” and simply “obeys” Kanye because he has convinced her they have “royal” status.
They added: “Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear.
“She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.
“She has no mind of her own any more and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.”

But Bianca was apparently not interested in hearing anything negative about the Jesus Walks rapper, allegedly telling pals they should “f*** off” and that they are jealous of her fame.
The latest outrageous outfit comes after she shocked onlookers on Saturday when dining out with Kanye in Los Angeles.
That time she was wearing a teeny silver triangle bikini top, which just about managed to protect her modesty, as she arrived at barbecue restaurant Bludso’s BBQ.
Now, restaurateurs in the LA area have vowed to ban the controversial couple, with one saying about the bikini: “Totally inappropriate and not a good role model for young children to see this out and about. What is wrong with them?”
On another Instagram post on Bianca’s birthday, Kanye rambled: “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me and the most amazing stepmom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me.”
Bianca, who looks eerily like Kanye’s first wife, Kim Kardashian, 43, who is the mother to his four children, North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five, has worked as an architectural designer for his Yeezy company since 2020.
The pair married two years later, just a month after his divorce from Kim was finalised.
Kanye, who suffers with bipolar disorder, often acts as though women can be made out of papier-mâché, with Kim saying he dressed her during their marriage.
On her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, she revealed: “Kanye has always dressed me. In the early 2000s he would literally just send me random emails with all these looks and what my style should be.”
Kanye also had a brief relationship with model and actress Julia Fox, 34, in early 2022. She described being with him as “overwhelming and unsustainable”.
On The Drew Barrymore show in October 2023, the single mum said: “I just embraced it. I was like, ‘I’ll wear the fashion. I’ll wear the clothes. I’ll do what he says’.
“But I could only do it for so long. I think I just realised very quickly it just wasn’t gonna be sustainable because, ultimately, I cannot put anybody else first.
“My son has to be first. It just became too much. Like, I didn’t sign up to have two babies, you know?”
Ironically, Kanye once told Kim, “You are my wife, and it affects me when your pictures are too sexy”, after she posted revealing snaps online.
But Kanye has flashed his own flesh too — in broad daylight on a boat in Venice last year.
Pictures show the rapper with his backside exposed while Bianca’s face is between his legs and with his hand on the back of her head, on a canal in the tourist hotspot.
The owner of the boat company later said: “We completely disassociate ourselves from such acts and behaviour.
“Mr West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”
In May, Bianca risked facing prison or a fine of 15,000 euros (£12,600) after testing the laws of exhibitionism in Paris when she went underwear-free beneath a pair of sheer stockings.
Two months before, it was reported that Bianca’s father, Leo Censori — whose brother, Eris, is a notorious gangland killer dubbed “Melbourne’s Al Capone” — expressed concerns over his daughter’s risqué outfits.
He then demanded the couple fly to Australia to see him.
The meeting looked to go smoothy for Kanye though, with him, Bianca and her mother Alexandra all snapped smiling and exiting a private jet together in March.
So while Kanye may have Bianca’s family wrapped around his finger, it seems his young wife will have to continue to go out wrapped in next to nothing.
